Tucked high in Mexico’s central highlands, San Miguel de Allende is a picturesque small city with charming cobblestone streets, pleasant climate and spectacular sunsets. Rich in history, with a sophisticated culinary scene and a vibrant arts community, it gracefully balances the old and new. For the past 3 years, San Miguel was voted the world’s best city in the Conde Nast Readers’ Choice Awards, and it led Travel and Leisure’s list in 2021; read this article about its many charms.

This fun week of creativity, inspiration, learning, connection and relaxation with Lisa Merrill and a small group of kindred spirits includes a daily group experience and meal, along with opportunities to explore on your own (or with Lisa).

• Relish traditional and Mexican fusion cuisine at rooftop restaurants and our delightful B&B 

• Indulge in massages, hot springs, and spa treatments   

• Learn about San Miguel’s challenges and opportunities in the face of tourism and development 

• Enjoy mindful photography (with any camera, including a phone) and strengthen your ability to tell compelling visual stories of the places you explore and the people you meet 

• Stay at the exquisite Casa de la Cuesta in a quiet neighborhood close to San Miguel’s main plaza.,
